Suakin

Suakin or Sawakin ((アラビア語:سواكن) ''Sawákin'') is a port city in north-eastern Sudan, on the west coast of the Red Sea. It was formerly the region's chief port, but is now secondary to Port Sudan, about north. Suakin used to be considered the height of medieval luxury on the Red Sea, but the old city built of coral is now in ruins. In 1983 it had a population of 18,030 and the 2009 estimate is 43,337.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=World Gazeteer )〕 Ferries run daily from Suakin to Jeddah in Saudi Arabia.
==Etymology==
Sawakin (سواكن) is Arabic, meaning "dwellers" or "stillnesses."
The Beja name for Suakin was U Suk, possibly from the Arabic word ''suq'', meaning market. In Beja, the locative case for this is ''isukib'', whence Suakin might have derived.〔Berg, Robert: (Suakin: Time and Tide ). ''Saudi Aramco World.''〕 The spelling on Admiralty charts in the late 19th century was "Sauakin" but in the popular press "Suakim" was predominant.
